Star Alliance has therefore chosen Paris and the Roissy to launch a test phase aimed at enhancing the experience of its frequent flyers in its airport lounges. Since the beginning of the month Inflight VR virtual reality headsets are available on the exhibition of the alliance installed in the Terminal 1 at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, on the top floor. This immersive experience is based on a catalogue of destination visits, documentaries and short films, as well as a sports programme.
" The possibilities offered by Inflight VR virtual reality headsets are virtually endless "According to those in charge of the project, they are already planning to roll out the approach more widely. After this three-month test phase - which will also include a stopover at Rome-Fiumicino November - Star Alliance would like to eventually offer this virtual reality service in all its lounges worldwide.
the impression of being in a totally different world
" Virtual reality headsets, which have been tested in flight by several airlines, allow passengers to enjoy virtual reality on board airliners, in airport lounges and in other types of vehicle (buses, for example). "says the press release. " Thanks to an autonomous virtual reality headset, they forget the environment in which they are. They have the impression of being in a totally different, very spacious world - in a 3D cinema or a real theatre, and enjoy visiting places of their choice as if they were there, or trying their hand at immersive games.
